Xiamen University, founded in 1921 by Mr. Tan Kah-Kee, a well-known Chinese expatriate, is located in the resort-like island of Xiamen in Southeast China. Under the leadership of Professor Wang Yanan, a former Xiamen University President and the Chinese translator of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital, the School of Economics (SOE) at Xiamen University has been one of the top programs in China since 1950s. In 2005, to further develop and promote modern economics, Xiamen University established an internationalized research institute - the Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (WISE).
The main missions of WISE and the SOE are to develop world-class research and teaching, nurture economic talents and business leaders, and improve both Chinese and global society. We have published articles in top journals, such as American Economic Review, Econometrica, and Quarterly Journal of Economics. Also, we have successfully hosted high quality conferences, such as 2019 Asian Meeting of Econometric Society (AMES) and IAAE 2024 Annual Conference and will organize more international conferences.
Having successfully recruited about 100 faculty members from abroad in the past few years, WISE and the SOE still have faculty positions available in all areas of economics, finance and statistics at all ranks.
